One Diablo 4 player has discovered the in-game location of where the title's announcement trailer took place, sharing images with fellow fans to compare it to the trailer footage. Though it has been a long time since Blizzard revealed the cinematic, fans were likely pleased to see the scenario actually happen in one of the in-game locations in Diablo 4.
Though most of the action-RPG's player base has already completed the story campaign of Diablo 4, many are likely still completing side content to gain a little advantage for the start of Season 1. Several features like the city waypoints and access to mounts will transfer during the Season of the Malignant, but players are also likely scrambling to find all the Altars of Lilith and discover every inch of Sanctuary's map to get extra renown for the first season. In going through all the locations, it is not surprising for fans to discover the actual location of Lilith's summoning from the game's announcement cinematic.
On Reddit, user cheeseslurpy shared some images of the Diablo 4 location from the game's announcement trailer released during BlizzCon 2019. The photos showcased what the locations in the trailer footage looked like within the game, from the perspective of the player. Fans will likely be glad to know that they can revisit these areas in Sanctuary, and actually go through an interesting Diablo 4 side quest line to witness how Lilith's summoning came about as well as the bloody aftermath of the whole situation.
Replies on the Reddit thread seemed to echo the original poster's sentiment about how interesting this particular Diablo 4 side quest was, especially since it called back to one of the biggest reveals for the game. Several mentioned that this was their favorite side quest in the whole game, noting that players will not realize that it was going to lead into the location of Lilith's summoning later on. Some also thought the Barbarian had been gender-swapped in the game, but later realized that the female features of the class in the trailer were not as distinct as they were in the game.
Many within the Diablo 4 community likely think that it is interesting to see Blizzard incorporate these intriguing quest lines into the game. Not only do they call back to previous storylines, they also add more flavor and depth to side content. Hopefully when Diablo 4's Season of the Malignant arrives, more of these kinds of side quests will be added into the action-RPG.
Diablo 4 is available for PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X/S.
